Insoluble fiber is found in whole grains, barley, couscous, brown rice, bulgur, wheat bran, nuts, seeds, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, celery, green beans, dark leafy vegetables, raisins, nuts, grapes, and tomatoes. Grandma called it roughage, and one of the benefits of insoluble fiber is that it helps keep you regular, prevents constipation, and reduces the risk of diverticular disease.

Total fiber intake of both kinds, studies show, can lower risk of coronary disease, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.

Foods high in fiber can also make you feel full longer and curb overeating. High-fiber foods are filling; they require more chewing and stay longer in your stomach, absorbing water, and helping you feel full.

Who are you really kidding? BE KIND TO YOUR KNEES! Loose the Weight !

It is sad, annoying and pathetic to see the damage to knees these days.....
